<p>What does it take for ordinary citizens to risk everything to protest living under a repressive government? What takes them beyond the brink, to the “boiling point”? In his graphic novel 100°C, celebrated webtoon and comics artist Choi Kyu-sok sheds a light on these questions by examining the lives of one family caught up in the great social unrest that developed under Chun Doo-hwan’s regime and culminated in the June 1987 Uprising. Crucial to understanding the events of the summer of 1987 is the recognition of both the political context and the dynamics of the nationwide effort that included students, office workers, and religious and labor groups―all of whom came together to demand a new constitution and free elections. Choi’s is a measured yet powerful representation of a pivotal moment in Korean history, when individuals questioned the status quo, when parents joined their children to express their grievances and agitate for democratic reforms, when an entire nation chose to move in a new direction.</p>

<p>Salariés versus multinationales : comment résister face à un patron prêt à tout pour briser un mouvement social ?Choi Kyu-sok transpose en fiction l’implantation conflictuelle – et finalement ratée – de Carrefour en Corée et consacre ce troisième volume aux négociations entre le syndicat et la direction du groupe. L’auteur dépeint avec finesse les différentes étapes du bras de fer entre une grande entreprise aux rouages implacables et des salariés prêts à tout pour porter leurs revendications. S’en dégage un portrait très juste du quotidien des luttes sociales, et notamment des conséquences d’un affrontement qui s’éternise.</p>
